Brampton-Carlisle Lat. 20 degrees 48' S Long. 149 degrees 16' E

We arrived here around 1400 from Scawfell Is. - about 25 miles. Had a generally good sail with a very broad reach on port tack. Double reefed main in the expectation of strong winds which didn't materialise - only up to about 18 knots. However, we left the engine off and it was a peaceful passage. We are now at anchor at 2100 on 02/05 and have had a good dinner - one of Jean's Thai chicken curries that she froze and left for us before she went to NZ. Had a phone conversation with her also today as this is the first time for some days that we have had cell phone coverage. Brampton is the southernmost of the Whitsunday Group so we're getting close to our intermediate destination. Tomorrow it's either Shaw or Thomas Is. Weather forecast is for more of the same - 20-25 knot SE - sooooooooooo BORING!!!!!!!Watch this space........tiaretaporo3.blogspot.com
